LGBT HISTORY

The Zebra Coalition® is a network of organizations which provide services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and all youth (LGBT+) ages 13 – 24. The Coalition assists young people facing homelessness; bullying; physical, sexual and drug abuse; and isolation from their families with individualized programs to guide them to recovery and stability.

Welcome -

Several years ago, we set out to create a Knowledge Community(KC) that addresses the needs of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) people across their lifespan. As educators, researchers, and practitioners, information and resources were minimal and lacked critical cultural competencies and ignored intersecting identities.

Our Mission

Our Values

RESOURCES

The ability to access community and supportive resources is critical in meeting the needs of any client. The lack of national resources can greatly influence local organizations.

LGBT ISSUES

The events over a lifetime for LGBT persons become more complicated due to the myths, misinformation, homophobia, and heterosexism.

This site is possible because of the brilliance and hard work of Kaitlin Hughes who built on the foundation created by my Lead Scholars class, 2012. TY, mf.

This site is dedicated to the champions working to enhance the well-being of every sexual and gender minority regardless of their "initial under the umbrella." Our work must be about ending discrimination and addressing the needs of our clients to ensure their health and safety and access to the promises afforded to every global citizen.
